I hope this is the correct place to post this question.
I am trying to hook up my wireless cameras using the UX21A IR Commander to connect a VCR for recording and ran into some problems. Using the instructions that came with the XR21A, I followed the steps to teach the unit, with the remote control, to record and stop as the motion detector senses movement and turns off. It responded as the instructions indicated it should and appeared to program correctly. Using a MS13A motion detector, the VCR will go from stop into record when motion is detected but fails to return to stop after the off code has been transmitted.
It seems like you should be able to switch the VCR from stop to record and back to stop using these buttons in the motion detector. Pressing the on button switches the VCR into record but you can’t switch it back to stop using the off button.
I checked the motion detector with a lamp and was able to turn the lamp on and off using the on/off buttons on the unit.
I’m sure I have overlooked something, but I can’t figure out what. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Richard
